In this case, you are confusing the verb "pass" with the adverb form "past", which is a synonym for "beyond". You would say "Do not PASS the person" or "Do not walk PAST the person", where "past" is an adverb applying to the verb "walk". At one time, English was not as codified and many words formed their past tense with a "T" instead of an "ED", because the sound is essentially the same. Nowadays it is rare to find usage of words such as "learnt" or "leant" to mean an action that has occured.

When something is pass due do you use past or pass?

Past and Pass are often confused. Think of Pass as "to hand or throw something in a direction or to someone else". Past means before now, old, late, or going by a person, place, object, or time...such as passing a course.My report was past due. I did not know whether I would pass the course or not!I made a beautiful football pass yesterday, but today my brother said my football pass was in the past. He challenged me to repeat my feat today.Though historical events occurred in the past, I worried whether I knew enough dates to pass myhistory test.Mom asked me to pass (e.g. to hand to her) to her the bowl of beans since I was going past (e.g. going by) the table.

How do you use pass and past?

Pass...The student was confident he would pass his exams. (pass = gain)Jack asked his brother to pass the salt. (pass = transfer)Past...History teaches us about past events. (past - previous)Those two words can sound very similar, especially the past tense of pass, which is passed. But they are entirely different. They both have more than one meaning. To pass can mean, to travel beyond, as in pass the car in front of you on the left. To pass can mean to get an acceptable grade on a test. To pass can mean to hand something over; pass me the salt, please. To pass can mean to be accepted, as in, because of her relatively light complexion she could pass for white. Past can refer to an earlier period of time. History teaches us about the past. Past can mean finished; her troubles are past. Past is of course a grammatical term, meaning the verb tense that indicates action that happened earlier than the present. The past tense of eat is ate.
